About Nabari No Ou:
Rokujou Miharu was a seemly reluctant junior high student living in his own world. However, within him, lurked the ultimate power of Nabari*, “Omnipotent”. To possess such supreme weapon, the Wolf Pack of Iga* swore to bring Miharu back to Iga village. On the other hand, Miharu’s English teacher, Kumohira sensei*, and classmate, Kouichi, were the Banten* ninjas whose mission was to protect Miharu. A war waged over the ownership of “Omnipotent” thus started. To survive, Miharu must enter the hidden world Nabari, to become the king.

Miharu Rokujou, the apathetic 14-year-old middle school student and protagonist of Nabari no Ou. Although Nabari's most powerful secret art, the coveted Shinra Banshou (森羅万象 Shinrabanshō, lit. All Things in Nature), is literally written into his body and he is venerated by all of Nabari's ninja as king, Miharu cares little about his gift's profound merits. His only goal is to inherit the family's okonomiyaki store.
To protect those around him from getting hurt, he acts indifferently although he is not averse to acting in a rather innocent and cute manner to get what he wants.

Miharu actually yearns for love at heart. After Miharu meets Yoite and promises to erase him in exchange for his friends' lives, his indifference begins to sway as his concern starts to revolve around Yoite. As the bond between them tightens, Miharu begins to wish for Yoite's continued existence, and offers to use Shinra Banshou to save him when Yoite collapses in a near death state from overuse of Iga Village's kinjutsushō Kira.

Tobari Durandal Kumohira, Miharu Rokujou and Kouichi Aizawa's 25-year-old teacher in the "front world", the world that is unaware of Nabari.
Born in Ireland, he was forced by his grandfather, a "Japan otaku" and "ninja fanatic", to go to Japan and learn to become a ninja
Kumohira is unable to return home partly due to an intense hatred of transport resulting from amaxophobia, a fear of being or riding in vehicles.Shortly after his arrival in Japan, he became a close acquaintance to the Rokujou family.

He was involved in an incident involving the Shinra Banshou and the deaths of its then user, Asahi Rokujou, her husband, and Tobari's grandfather were killed. The incident was erased from the memories of every one involved individual through the Shinra Banshou's power and Miharu's memories of Tobari's acquaintance with the Rokujou family were lost. Tobari is the only one to remember the incident.In the world of Nabari, he is a ninja of the Banten Village. He is entirely devoted to protecting Rokujou, and wants him to become the king of Nabari.
After realizing Miharu's determination to fulfill his promise, Kumohira goes into hiding to conceal the whereabouts of the last kinjutsushō, Banten's Engetsurin, from those trying to find it. Following the Shinra Banshou's latest activation, he has returned to Banten.

In the anime adaption, he is the temporary leader as the current leader is away while in the manga, he is not a stand-in, but has the power to arrange for a temporary leader. According to Aizawa, Kumohira has probably recorded Banten's kinjutsushō through verbal communication. Among the Banten ninja, Kumohira is the most vehement dissident against Miharu using the Shinra Banshou, instead advocating its permanent seal. This often results in him going to great length to dissuade Miharu from attempting to activate it, which clashes with Miharu's promise to Yoite.

Miharu's seemingly 14-year-old classmate who studies Nindō under Kumohira. He is normally portrayed with an energetic attitude around other people, becoming serious and relentless when it comes to ninja duties.

Kouichi is in truth an immortal who can take the form of a whit owl. He is fascinated with death as a result of his immortality.
His immortality is attributed to the holder of the Shinra Banshou during the Edo Period, who was a medical practitioner who experimented with placing the wisdom of the Shinra Banshou into animals, since humans usually died. He and Shijima Kurookano are the only survivors of the experiments and gained immortality; they believe that their mission is to observe the end of Nabari.[9] This implies that Koichi, and subsequently Shijima, are at least a century old. Koichi's ultimate goal to have the Shinra Banshou release him from immortality and ensure that another immortal being or "monster" like himself is never created again.[10][11] They are together referred to as the Hakutaku (白澤?)[12] The Aizawa household are descended from Fuuma ninjas and are native Banten ninja.

Raimei Shimizu, the 14-year-old guardian of the world of Nabari and head of Fuuma Village's Shimizu clan. She prefers to fight with a sword named Kurogamon over using ninjutsu, to the point of claiming to be a samurai. Five years ago, her older brother Raikō annihilated their clan. She has sworn to kill him in revenge. She has a tendency to mistake one person for another or reveal information she intended to keep to herself when excited.

The two reconcile and stay on friendly terms after Raimei learns that the massacre was Raikō's vengeance against their uncle and his gang, who killed Raikō and Raimei's parents.

Yoite is a 16-year-old ninja and does not have a gender. He uses the Iga's kinjutsushō "Kira". This technique shoots the user's ki into the target's body and controls it from the inside out, causing the target's bones to break or their body to completely explode. The cost of using this technique is the loss of the user's life force, gradually losing their five senses and eventually dying.

When Yoite is introduced, he has only a few more months to live. Yoite first meets Miharu when retrieving Fuuma's kinjutsushō. The two slowly form a bond after Miharu promises to use the Shinra Banshou to fulfill Yoite's wish: to be erased from existence. In turn, Yoite will make Miharu the ruler of Nabari. As their bond deepens, he becomes more protective of Miharu and begins to show rebellious signs towards the Grey Wolf leader, Hattori, when Miharu is in harm's way by his orders. Yoite becomes openly rebellious when Hattori attempts to persuade Miharu to not grant Yoite's wish, causing Hattori to send Kasa assassins after Yoite and Miharu. When Miharu is captured by the assassins, Yoite, Kouichi, and Shijima rescue him. However, the lethal side effects of Kira take their toll on Yoite. He thanks Miharu for staying with him and asks Miharu to be happy. He asks Miharu to erase him, but perishes before the Shinra Banshou can be used. The secret art still erases all memories concerning Yoite.
He was named Sora, although Yoite never considered it to be his name. His mother died giving birth. His parents considered him a death god for that reason. He was confined to the basement and his half-brother Kōdō Tsukasa was forbidden to approach him.
When Yoite turned fourteen, his family decided to kill him, slashing his throat and unsuccessfully forcing Kōdō to do the same. After this attempt on his life, being erased from existence became his goal. He ran from the house and was saved by Hattori, who accepted him into the Grey Wolves. Yoite spends a year studying the Kira technique and all required ninja skills. Hattori promises this would bring him closer to his goal of being erased. He was then placed under Yukimi's care and given the name "Yoite".
